My Winter Wheels

I just installed my winter wheels/tires today.....a rainy day but by mid week we are expecting some wet snow.

BSA wheels 18x8 fr; 18x10 rr
Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25: 235/40/18 fr, 255/40/18 rr.
Beru TPMS

It rained just as I finished so pardon the state of the car....it looks like it needs a set of lower springs. My summer wheels are the 19" Sport Design. The car sensed that new wheels were on and it automatically recalibrated and asked for settings which I entered the winter wheel option (very smart tpms).

Here are some photos:

I still only plan to use it on better winter days only......no deep snow or freezing rain.

They look nice! Glad we don't get much snow here.

Thanks SWH.....I never drove my previous Porsche during the winter but I told myself that I won't "baby" this car.....I plan to enjoy it as much as possible.

Those are pretty sweet wheels. I wouldn't be opposed to having those on my car year round (with a lower profile tire of course)
